The Situation

When we first heard that Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino was launching a tuxedo line, we feared the worst. I mean this is the man who Abercrombie & Fitch offered six figures to stop wearing their clothes. Well the look book has finally arrived (via MTV Style) and we have to say, it's actually worse than we expected.
The tuxedo line for FLOW Formal Wear, is (of course) called The Situation, and the brand has definitely stayed true to its name with their latest Jersey-fied look book. Between Sitch's creepy pouts and supremely awkward modeling poses--not to mention the general tackiness of the collection--we're not sure what the skeeziest part of this look book is. Though we're probably going to have to go with the ladies giving come-hither glances (and in one case, lying down on a bed) in the background--there's a different one in almost every each shot (and sometimes multiple ladies).

Well this is a new one: Abercrombie & Fitch has offered The Situation cold hard cash (and lots of it) to stop wearing their clothing, WWD reports.
Apparently, the teen aspirational brand is not a fan of The Situation's drunken escapades and creepy hook-up tactics (who would have thought!?) and say they are "deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentino’s association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image."
Now we know what you're thinking: Does this mean we have to see even more of The Situation's shirtless body?

The Newest New W: Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling cover October W, the mag's second issue since Stefano Tonchi took the helm and it became the "new" W. We love Michelle and Ryan, but we're kind of getting a flashback to Lars and the Real Girl, as Michelle Williams looks very much like a doll that Ryan is holding in this picture. {Fashion Copious}
Tim vs. Anna: The Saga continues. As you might have heard, Tim Gunn did not paint the most flattering portrait of Anna Wintour in his book Gunn's Golden Rules, in which he tells the story of Anna being carried down several flights of stairs by bodyguards after a show. Anna, not surprisingly, was not happy with Tim's comments and now I think Tim and Anna are in the fashion version of a rap war. Tim says, "More than 30 people must have seen it. I'm just the only one brave enough to tell the truth. Lord knows hell would freeze over if I came face to face with her here, but I probably wouldn't be able to see past her handlers." {NY Post}
The Situation's unfortunate fashion situation: Mike Sorrentino is getting serious about starting his own clothing line, starting with trademarking a name. Sadly, Mike lost the bid to trademark "The Situtation" and to make matters worse, some other guy trademarked Sorrentino just last week. How will he make a name for himself in the fashion world now? {Gawker}
